Restricted
The records were received from ALIA in three instalments: boxes 1-111 in
February 1996, boxes 112-174 in December 1996 and boxes 175-261 in February
1988.
The records include correspondence, minutes of meetings, annual reports,
agenda papers, financial records, press cuttings, news releases, records on
constitutional matters, some personal papers of office bearers and printed
material.
Note on the arrangement and description of boxes 1-111
The records of the ALIA held in its Sydney office were originally
surveyed and culled by Allan Horton and archives staff at the University of New
South Wales. The records retained were subsequently listed by Anne Cooke, but
the box numbering was maintained. Hence particular categories of records in
this section of the archives are often in broken sequences of boxes.
Note on the arrangement and description of boxes 175-261:
The records in this instalment were arranged and described in 1988.
Although the boxes have been re-numbered (boxes 175-261), the original
arrangement and description of the records have been preserved.
Historical Note
- The Australian Institute of Librarians (1937-49)
- The Library Association of Australia (1950-88)
- The Australian Library and Information Association (1989-).
The Australian Institute of Librarians was formed in 1937, largely on
the initiative of John Metcalfe, then deputy librarian of the Public Library of
New South Wales. The Institute was assisted by a grant from the Carnegie
Corporation in New York.
The emphasis of the Australian Institute of Librarians was on raising
the standards of librarianship. Initially in the absence of any other
professional qualification, a condition of membership was experience in an
approved library. Branches were formed in all States and in the Australian
Capital Territory, and all branches were represented at the Institute's first
conference in Sydney in 1938. The theme of the conference was 'Standards of
Librarianship and library training', and following the conference the Institute
established a committee on library training and standards. The committee's
report resulted in the establishment of a board of examination and
certification in 1942.
In 1947, in response to the visit and report of McColvin, the Institute
turned its attention to library development and in 1949 reconstituted itself as
the Library Association of Australia. The new association carried out without
interruption the functions of the Institute. Membership, however, was opened to
interested citizens and library authorities, as well as librarians and library
students.
The Library Association is governed by a General Council which consists
of a president, vice president, general treasurer, and general secretary, two
past presidents, two members appointed by each branch and one member appointed
by each section. The Association is organised in branches and sections. There
is a branch in each State and in the ACT, and within some of the branches there
are regional groups. Within each sections there may be state divisions.
The Board of Examiners consists of seven professional members, appointed
by the professional members of General Council. The Board makes recommendations
to the General Council on all matters affecting examination and qualification
in librarianship and on the qualifications for fellowship and associateship of
the association. The Board also set standards for Schools of librarianship and
provides accreditation to those schools meeting the standards.
